Schedules Announced for Saturday Fundraisers

Both Norwell and Southern Wells music boosters will be hosting "dinner and show" fundraisers Saturday, featuring performances by all school choirs and bands. 

Southern Wells starts its afternoon at 4 p.m., with an all you can eat Dan’s Fish and Chicken dinner, which will be served through to 7 p.m. Tickets cost $8 and are available by calling Rhonda Stoffer at 260-375-3051 by Thursday. There will be a limited number of tickets available at the door.

Norwell’s show choirs and bands will join forces for a “Musical Extravaganza” at the high school Saturday  afternoon and evening. In past years, this event has been known as the “Pork Chop Dinner” fundraiser, however, with a greater variety of food available this year, the name has been changed.   

Music students from Norwell high and middle schools, as well as Ossian and Lancaster elementaries will strut their stuff on stage as they attempt to raise funds to help keep their programs alive and well. 

A variety of food, catered by Back 40 Junction, will also be available. For $8, a dinner of either chicken or pork can be purchased. This includes a chicken quarter or a six-ounce pork loin, red potatoes, corn, a roll, a drink and dessert. For $4, a hot dog  dinner can be purchased, including a hot dog, chips, applesauce or vegetable, a drink and dessert. Admission is free to anyone who  purchases a dinner. For the show only, the cost will be $2. Admission is free to any Norwell student.
